No one under Lucetto’s red roofs and marble domes is surprised when Madalena DiStefano is selected as the new disciple of Wrath. She’s the perfect choice to represent the most terrifying of the fourteen gods of virtue and vice. After all, she plunged a dagger through her own father’s heart at just sixteen.
What Lena can’t reveal is that her father’s death was self-defense, and she has no idea how to be the rage-filled monster everyone expects. If the power-hungry nobles of the signoria find out how ill-suited she is for her new role on the High Court, she’ll return to prison for good, and Dante Rossi—brooding, rich, and utterly compelling—might be well on his way to finding her out. When someone starts murdering the other disciples one by one and one of Lena’s old friends is accused, she’ll have to make impossible choices to keep her new-found freedom from going up in flames.
As Lena steps further into the glittering, dangerous world of the signoria, discovering who to trust may be a matter of life or death.
